I just received my new Cricut Tote Bags, and let me just say... these are not your ordinary tote bags!

They are made of such high quality construction and materials. Cricut really took the time to get these right. I have owned several of the standard rolling totes for crafting, but never anything like these.

I have this thing packed with supplies and still have a lot of room left for plenty more!

I love how organized everything is. I also love the fact that this rolling tote become a workstation. The lid attaches to the rolling tote handle so that you can work right out of your tote

There are velcro bags that attach to the lid so that you can keep all of those little tools and bits in place. I used one for my spray paints so that I don't risk a leak in the bag. Brillant, Cricut!!

I love that they stack on top of one another. The rolling tote rolls on all four wheels, so it's super easy to get in and out of the crop. The material is this beautiful tweed charcoal gray color. I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw how gorgeous these are. I think I'm going to add the shoulder bag to my set!

They are on sale now! If you use Code LORRIE you can get an additional 15% off and free shipping. If you're an access member, you get another 10% off that! You can see all three bags and order here. For a close up look, watch my video below:

I have been working on my craftroom this week. The walls have been neglected. I wanted to make it a very inspiring area and I needed to add some girly, inspiring, pretty stuff on the walls. Cricut to the Rescue!

I grabbed a couple of canvases, some Cricut Vinyl (glitter, matte and foil) and started working on a couple of decor pieces to liven up my craft space. I made this Making Magic Happen using the Glitter Vinyl, and Black Vinyl by Cricut.

Next up was this fun canvas that says "Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful". I used the Cricut Vinyl in Pink and Black, and the Gold Foil Vinyl (swoon). This piece turned out so fun and I had the perfect spot to hang it.

I absolutely love how my wall art turned out. I plan to make several more in the near future.

I couldn't wait to try and make Evie some cute little headbands! I mean does it get any sweeter than this?

But once I started, I couldn't stop! I mean seriously!!! I had to make one in every color!

And then I found MORE colors and had to make some more! I'm not even finished with all the colors yet! I think Miss Evie is all set for awhile!

I don't think she minds. :) I made these with the Cricut Explore and some felt backed with Heat N Bond! (Products listed below). It was so super simple and fast. I am thinking I need hair clip bows for when she's a little older, headband bows/flowers, ponytail holders. Heck even, planner clips.

The Cricut and Felt work well together. I couldn't believe how well the Cricut cut the bonded felt.

Here's a tutorial if you'd like to make the bows, too! These are selling for $3-4 a piece on Etsy.. and seriously, cost me a few cents each.
